Pottery Barn Kids Mackenzie Large Backpack

The extra-spacious Mackenzie Large from Pottery Barn is perfect for the child who wants to carry everything but the kitchen sink. It easily fits everything from books to gym clothes, while two front adjustable straps hold a coat or even a skateboard. But despite the roomy interior, kid testers found the bag comfortable to wear and easy to carry, making this our pack-it-all pick for 8- to 12-year olds. The 600-denier polyester handled abrasion, water, and being dropped, but could tear if it gets cut or punctured. potterybarnkids.com.
